Re: Where are all the Elemental Shamans?

Hello,

In our semi-casual guild (sart2d 10 and 25 at the moment) the elemental shamans (2) are also low in the stats. They are serious players and I don't understand why they dont succeed better.
I see shaman talking here about the dps of their fire totems. So what ? who cares about dps on trash ? can a shaman not use totem of wrath on boss ? Should they use damaging fire totems for aoe on sarth3d, does that affect the raid dps more than they will earn ?

Re: Where are all the Elemental Shamans?

I'm leveling my Elemental Shaman at the moment, he's level 74 and I still love him as much as I did in TBC.

I'm surprised how quickly I've collected spell power, but this is mostly due to my Leatherworking. I think I have 1156 Spellpower self buffed. I'm not showing off but I'm just surpised. It's a brilliant spec for leveling Imo.

on sarth 3d i use wrath at the start but once whelps come out i use magma totem and yes it does help alot on 1 attempt my totem had over 4k dps itself

Re: Where are all the Elemental Shamans?

in TBC elemental shamans were few and far between. approximately 5 in the top guilds that i know of. now after 3.0.8 everybody and their mother plays one, and its saddening to see how people fuck up such an easy class to play. Gilneas and the Vindication battle group isnt short on elemental shamans.... or any shamans at all

Re: Where are all the Elemental Shamans?

Elemental Shamans aren't simply that good enough nowadays

^^I'm elemental. I have been beat only a few times on overall damage by pure dps classes lately, I have been beat once on overall dps lately. I bring 280sp, 3% hit and crit, restorative totems, cleansing totems. 4.77k dps on Patchwerk, over 6.5k on Thaddius. Which Elemental Shamans are you referencing?

I'm actually surprised there aren't more. They are not too popular on my server. Either
